Beyonce Shows Off Baby Bump

Despite being pregnant, Beyonce still threw down some hardcore moves and vocals at the MTV VMA this morning (UK time). She was dressed in a sparkly purple jacket, a crisp white tuxedo shirt with smart black trousers as she sang 'Love on Top' from her fourth studio album, 4. To end her performance Bey unbuttoned her jacket to show off her baby bump - by rubbing it with a big smile on her face! Check out her performance below. Apologies in advance if the clip stops working. Enjoy :)

Beyonce is FINALLY Pregnant !!

Finally Bey-Bay !!

FINALLY !! After years of rumours, and maybe some even thinking it was impossible for this miracle to happen to this particular woman... Beyonce is pregnant !! Yes this time it is TRUE and has been confrirmed rather than speculated. The suprisingly good news was revealed a couple hours ago, on the black carpets of MTVs annual Video Music Awards (VMAs). Immediately MTV snapped the star and tweeted a photograph as evidence.

Only a month ago she spoke to Piers Morgan about turning 30 in September and how excited she is. Pregnancy was an obvious topic on the agenda and she told Piers:

"I always said I'd have a baby at 30"

Well maybe she was pregnant already, and from the looks of the photo's snapped just 2 hours ago, she looks like she's about 3 months gone !! Let's hope he/she has her looks and not Jay's !! Check out the original tweet a few more snaps of the megastar when you read more including one with the legendary Cloris Leachman.

CONGRATS TO BEY & JAY !!

Throwback Thursday: Double Outkast

Outkast 'The Way You Move' & 'Hey Ya'!

During this week the new hip-hop duo The Throne (Jay-Z and Kanye West) dropped their album Watch The Throne; so for this week's edition of Throwback Thursday I really wanted to take it back, and showcase one of the most successful hip-hop double act superbods, Big Boi and Andre 3000 better known as...Outkast!

As they are a duo, I thought I'd drop two of their tracks, both from their fifth studio album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.

First up is 'The Way You Move' from the Speakerboxxx side of the double album - recorded by Big Boi.

The 2003 number one single features a very blusey R&B guest vocal from Sleepy Brown.

THE LINK...the video directed by Bryan Barber has a bridging sequence to Andre 3000's spirit lifting and brilliantly electrifying track 'Hey Ya' which from the The Love Below segment of the double album.

The awesome video has 8 versions of Andre singing and playing as part of a band which was part of making it one of the 'Top 100 Music videos of All Time' in 2006 according to Stylus Magazine.

Watch The Throne Drops Today !!

The day has finally arrived. Jay-Z and Kanye West, now collectively known as The Throne drop their highly anticipated album, Watch The Throne today. Hip-hop heads, and fans are so in for a treat today, as they've already gone 'H•A•M' for 'Otis'; ← (LIKE WHAT I DID THERE) the leading and only tracks to be released so far from the supergroup's album. I can't wait to see the numbers for the first week sales. Will their combined effort take the number one spot on the charts..? Will this be Jigga's 16th platinum achievement and Ye's 6th..? Being the amongst the most successful rappers of all time it's ~~likely~~ definitely on the cards. The album will be available in stores on the 12th August.

FANS WILL GO H•A•M !!

Watch The Throne: 3 Days No Leaks !!

Countdown: Watch The Throne

Would you believe me if I said there has been NO leaks since the countdown of Kanye West and Jay-Z's joint upcoming joint album Watch The Throne !! YEP... that's zero, zilch, nought in British. So far 'H•A•M' that was released in January and the most recent 'Otis' has been released from the album; along side the album art designed by Riccardo Tisci and obviously the track listing. Which is totally amazing, because one it is one of the most highly anticipated albums of the year and it also embarks on hip-hop history (in the digital age) as being one most major hip-hop albums not to leak. There's no point of me even saying 'it better be good' because I know too damn well it will be. GREAT NEWS... there's only three days left until it is released !!

SIDE : I hope the real album cover is embossed and really shiny and not just flat and shiny, because that would be such a disappointment.

Check out the track listing after the break, along side the two songs that have been released...

Drake Gets His R&B On !!

Drake Covers Destiny's Child

In my world all Drake can do is impress, in the real world all he can do is impress. We all know the rapper has a thing about singing, and the real world is split with his vocals - it's like marmite you either love it or hate it. One thing you can't hate his voice is for paying a little tribute to Destiny's Child by singing one of their classics. Drizzy decided to get his 'R&B on' at the second annual OVO Festival in Toronto by getting down with a couple lines from their year 2000 hit 'Say My Name'. PERSONALLY... I think he should sample take it a step further and sample it on some sort of pre-release R&B mixtape before Take Care drops in October. Check it out after the jump...
